Rødding–Spøttrup – apples, the Middle Ages and peaceful experiences

Rødding – known as the town of apples – is located in the north-western part of Skive Municipality, surrounded by fields, green areas and countless apple trees. Each year, the fruit is celebrated at the Rødding Apple Festival, and the town radiates rural tranquillity and community spirit. In the centre of town, you will find the Storstensområdet – a small woodland area surrounded by open spaces where everyday life slows down.

Right in Rødding’s backyard rises Spøttrup Castle – Denmark’s best-preserved medieval castle. Here, you can feel the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, explore courtyards and towers, and let history unfold within authentic surroundings.

Rødding and the entire Spøttrup area are ideal destinations for those seeking something genuine and undisturbed. The region offers peace, reflection and nature experiences away from major tourist routes – combined with a rich cultural history just beneath the surface.

The landscape around Rødding–Spøttrup invites both water and walking. Follow the hiking route around Lake Spøttrup, where the trail leads you through a calm landscape with views of water and birdlife. If you long for sand between your toes, the area offers three child-friendly beaches: Vadum Beach, Nymølle Beach and Knud Beach.
